Ain’t She a Peach by Molly Harper
Narrated by Amanda Ronconi
I’m in the mood for a humorous romance and Molly Harper and Amanda Ronconi are one of the best duos at that sub-genre of romance, so I’m looking forward to this one! – BJ
I love the combination of Ronconi and Harper and I’ve been enjoying the Southern Eclectic series. Frankie is one of my favourite characters so I’m looking forward to her HEA.- Kaetrin
A Match Made in Bed
by Cathy Maxwell
Narrated by Mary Jane Wells
Listening to Mary Jane Wells is always a pleasure, and I’m pleased to see her return for this, book two in Cathy Maxwell’s Spinster Heiresses series. The story promises feuding families and an opposites attract romance – sounds good to me! – Caz
I enjoyed If Ever I Should Love You, the first book in Cathy Maxwell’s Spinster Heiresses series, and I’m pleased to see its sequel being released as an audiobook with Mary Jane Wells as narrator. It promises to be a light-hearted historical romance with some serious undertones, and I’m looking forward to getting my hands on a copy. – Shannon
Before and Again by Barbara Delinsky
Narrated by Mary Stewart Masterson
I’ve enjoyed a lot of Barbara Delinsky’s books in the past, and her latest one looks quite promising. I’m unfamiliar with Mary Stewart Masterson’s narrations, but I’m crossing my fingers.- Shannon
Relentless by Elizabeth Dyer
Narrated by Aiden Snow
I’ve just read an advance copy of this second book in the Somerton Security series; in it, our hero goes undercover to infiltrate a dangerous cartel but he needs help if he’s going to be able to fulfil his mission. Can he find the anonymous tipster who has been leaking secrets to the authorities? And when he does – can they really trust each other? Relentless was a gripping read, plus, I’ve not listened to Aiden Snow before, so this seems like a good opportunity to rectify that. – Caz
The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand
Narrated by Erin Bennett
Last year I listened to and enjoyed Elin Hilderbrand’s and Erin Bennett’s previous collaboration, The Identicals. I see they have a new book coming out in June, The Perfect Couple, and I can’t wait to listen. Please note that this appears to be a mystery/fiction title though, not romance. – BJ
The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang
Narrated by Carly Robins
There’s a lot of buzz about this début novel from Helen Hoang which features a genius with few social skills who decides she needs to hire someone to teach her about dating. And stuff. Carly Robins is a new-to-me narrator, but the other Gals think highly of her work, so I’m looking forward to this one. – Caz
The First Time at Firelight Falls by Julie Anne Long
Narrated by Charlotte North
I’ve enjoyed Long’s historicals in print and one of my friends tells me the Hellcat Canyon contemporaries are a lot of fun so I’m diving in on audio here.- Kaetrin
Wicked and the Wallflower
by Sarah MacLean
Narrated by Justine Eyre
I’m super excited for the start of Sarah MacLean’s Bareknuckle Bastards series. The first installment, Wicked and the Wallflower, looks right up my alley. I know Justine Eyre’s narration isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I don’t object to her style too much at all.
Ocean Light by Nalini Singh
Narrated by Angela Dawe
A new Nalini Singh book is always cause for celebration, especially if it’s a book in her Psy/Changeling series. I read an early copy of this in print, and it was everything I was hoping it would be and more. If you add Angela Dawe’s very impressive narration skills to the mix, you’ve got a guaranteed great listen. – Shannon
Leo Loves Aries
by Anyta Sunday
Narrated by Rudy Sanda
I’ve heard good things about this m/m romance series and I’ve decided to try myself a new-to-me narrator. Wish me luck! – Kaetrin
The Girl in the Moss
by Loreth Anne White
Narrated by Julie McKay
I’m excited to listen to this final book in the Angie Pallorino series. The central character is compelling, the plots are twisty and brilliantly put together, and Julie McKay’s narrations of books one and two were excellent so I’m hoping for more of the same here. – Caz
